The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 11, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 25, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 14, 2012, making it Chapter 60 of the session laws.
